Prayer for the Month of Tevet 5776 by the Gaon and Tzaddik Rabbi Eliezer Berland

BS"D, Erev Rosh Chodesh, 5776

Master of the World, Omnipotent One, in the merit of the molad (new moon birth) of Tevet, Friday morning at 6:58 and 12 parts, the secret of the true unification between Esther and the King, the Holy One Blessed is He, which requires a preparation of three days of fasting. This is the secret of the cleft of the rock, "Behold, there is a place with Me" (Exodus 33:21), where the Hidden Light was concealed. The secret of Iti (with Me) = 411, Tevet = 411 [referencing Sefer Karnayim Essay 6] {Megillah 19b} [Pri Tzaddik, Bereishit]. The secret of "With Me from Lebanon, O bride, with Me from Lebanon you shall come; look from the peak of Amana" (Song of Songs 4:8), the secret of the cave where only Moshe and Eliyahu were present. This is the secret of the month of Tevet, that it is possible to be included in the secret of the month of Tevet, the secret of the "cleft of the rock," the secret of "Behold, there is a place with Me" (Iti) which is Gematria Tevet = 411. The secret of "With Me from Lebanon, O bride, with Me from Lebanon you shall come," for then Esther enters the house of King Achashverosh, the unification of Knesset Yisrael (the Assembly of Israel) with the Holy One Blessed is He. For only through a fast of three days did Esther merit to enter the King's house, and only through a fast of forty days did Moshe and Eliyahu merit to enter the cave. The secret of the "cleft of the rock," "Behold, there is a place with Me," the secret of "Groom and Bride," the secret of the true unification between the Holy One Blessed is He and Knesset Yisrael, the secret of the "unification of the sun and the moon," the secret of the true unification that is revealed only in the month of Tevet. For regarding the Tenth of Tevet it is said: "On this very day," about which Rabbi Yonatan Eybeschutz says in his discourses on the month of Tevet, that the Tenth of Tevet is the greatest day of the year, and then it is possible to accomplish anything in the world. The secret of the two Cherubim, the secret of "Sun, stand still at Gibeon; and Moon, in the valley of Aijalon." The secret of Shemesh [Sun] (640) B'Givon [at Gibeon] (133) Dom [stand still] (50) V'Yareach [and Moon] (224) B'Emek [in the valley] (212) Ayalon (97), Vayidom [and it stood still] (66) HaShemesh [the sun] (645) V'Yareach [and the moon] (220) Amad [stood] (114) Ad [until] (74) Yikom [avenged] (156) Goy [nation] (19) Oyvav [its enemies] (35). And through this we will subdue the 11 = 2700 [Chieftains of Esau]. For [the numerical values of]: 30 Kavanati [my intention] 486 L'yachada [to unify] 53 Shma [the Name] 341 D'Kudsha [of the Holy One] 415 Brich [Blessed] 232 Hu [is He] 12 U'Shechinteih [and His Shechinah] 801 Bidchilu [in awe] 60 U'Rechimu [and love] 270 = 2700. And through this we will merit kindnesses within Da'at (Knowledge), the secret of the inclusion of the Gevurot (Severities) of Yitzchak within Binah (Understanding) [Shabbat 29b]. The secret of the Geulah (Redemption).
